I have had major success growing my monsteras in water (hydroponically). Initially I had thought to keep these to propagate, regrow roots, and put in soil but after 11 months, I love the look of them and don’t have plants to transition back now. If you are wanting to grow plants in water, you do have to add a liquid fertilizer since your plant is not gaining any nutrients for your plant from the soil. I use dynagro foliage pro but any liquid fertilizer of your preference will do well.
I have some of those vases too 😂I’m going to keep mine in water, I like the look like you have here. I tried some in soil as well they aren’t looking as great 🥴 so glad I saw this short! ❤
Hey Krystal ❤ I just wanted to say that I follow you on Instagram and TH-cam absolutely love your content 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾✨✨✨ Question I’ve had success with my plants without fertilizer. Which liquid fertilizer do you use? I used to use Neem oil diluted with water but I can’t bring myself to bare the smell again 😅
I reuse glass jars and the looks is amazing! For the more interesting ones, I keep labels on for conversation pieces/art. Just an idea if you want to save money by using what you already have🌱Opaque plastic containers are also good if you want to control algae.
This was such a big help to me. I have been looking at buying some new plants and I’ve learned a lot from your channel. I really love the Monstera plant.❤❤
Omg I wish I had found you a lot sooner!!! I bought 2 monsteras at the beginning of the year and they are like F this container we breaking free haha now I am learning from you how to bring them indoors and grow them in water!!!! Haven’t done it yet but will this week!! I have at least 6-7 batch I can get out of them separately haha sooo excited!!!
I love this idea. How much of the fertilizer do you add to water? What ki d do you use. I am still learning with different plants. Absolutely love watching your videos❤
I've read that pouring all the water out, messes with growth cause they release growth hormones in the water. Is that true? Should I leave a little before adding new water or change completely. I watch your stuff religiously. Thank you for all the effort 💗
mine has been water for a year or so, but some of the leaves are starting to yellow. not sure if its because I moved house and it gets less light. I think it would do well from liquid fertalizer. what kind do you use? :) thnx
Honestly you dont need to rinse that much. Leave some beneficial microbes on the roots because it helps with transplant shock. Plants acquire a lot of their nutrients by bartering with microorganisms, so make sure there’s the correct bacteria to close the loop
5 months for a root? Or new leave? Mine rotted before I got any roots, sad day for that plant, and the money wastes trying to save it from the mean planter haters at Lowes
Nope she just does that probably because monstera roots won’t shrivel up and die very easily and she picked off dead roots so it may be good to let them dry a little bit to callous any open wounds. Just a guess though
I've been watching your videos lately, and they are highly informative. Quick question - do they grow just as fast, slower, or faster in water than in soil? Your input is highly appreciated, thanks. Also, what are your thoughts on clay balls?
I cant wait to have my own monstera! I am going to keep it in water, just have to find a good schedule for cleaning this beauty. Next to my 5 Aloe veras she is going to slay! Love your videos
i heard that your not suppose to change water because your dumping the nutrients out when you do that. it said that you just top the water off. is that true?
What a beautiful monstera! Btw I have a question krystal if my fertiliser turns the roots of my plants black or brown should I continue using it? So maybe I need to buy a new fertiliser? Because every time I use it (once a month) the roots turn black and die. I would really like some help krystal, thanks! ❤
Do you add liquid plant food to the water occasionally? I read you’re supposed to do that for plants growing in water since they’re not getting regular fertilizer from soil
Hey beautiful so u add ur fertie fert and it's the same as what I use. But u said once a month. How much? I use 1/4 tsp everytime I water all my plants so I just use that same amount when I change her water. Is that enough? My monstera is aurea that I have in water. She's doing awesome but I just wondered how if I should add more and just do it once like you. Ty for taking the time to read my book here lmao and hopefully throwing me an answer back. Love ya chicky sending tons of love n light to everyone here!!! ❤️
Krystal, do you like the houseplant mix from Sol soils as is for tropical plants? I'm wanting it for a super tiny Maranta leuconeura. And does it need plant food or fertilizer every couple weeks?
I’m wondering if the fenestrations are dependent on supports? I’m also growing in hydro and I want those big ol fenestrated leaves but I feel like I’m gonna have to jerryrig some kinda moss pole for it to really climb…
Okay now I want a monstera... I just recently started changing over my plants from soil to water because the dreaded gnats... Got to somehow figure out a good time schedule to change water. Might as well add another to it😂😂
I never change all the water and it has a happy root system. Algae doesn’t hurt roots. I didn’t know this til recently. But I do top it off with fresh water as it evaporates.
Rather than replacing the water completely, its better to top additional water. The container can be cleaned and the same topped up water put back into the container. Over a period of time, the plant gives out enzymes and growth hormones back tnto the water, hence this water shouldn't be thrown, instead topped up!!!!!😊
I have a 3+ year old monstera that was thriving and it got infested with gnats. So I put the potted plant outside and now it’s looking really sad. I’m going to see if I can save her and grow her in water!
I need help !!! I bought one and went to the nursery to get the soil changed into soul soil because she started drooping. Now she is still droopy, and her stems are turning brown help!!!!!!
Krystal hola saludos desde Tijuana Baja California Mexico ….me gustaría mucho que nos compartas el nombre del fertilizante para el líquido y también para tierra gracias 🙏 te acabo de encontrar me gustó mucho tu contenido enhorabuena 🎉❤😊 sigue adelante con lo que tanta amas las plantitas y aprendemos de ti’ abrazosssssss❤

You should try growing orchids in water! Mine is going really well
I have some of those vases too 😂I’m going to keep mine in water, I like the look like you have here. I tried some in soil as well they aren’t looking as great 🥴 so glad I saw this short! ❤

Question I’ve had success with my plants without fertilizer. Which liquid fertilizer do you use? I used to use Neem oil diluted with water but I can’t bring myself to bare the smell again 😅
@@ashlihart7828Is that fertilizer? I think that is to kill pest, an insecticide. I would like to clear that up.
Any experts out there to answer that?
@@mariedoll6081 you know you’re right I had a really bad gnat issue with my plants and that unfortunately was my normal for a hot minute
I donated a bunch of glass vases right before I started my plant journey and I think about them all the time 😂😂
Go to thrift shops and yard sales you will replace them soon.
I reuse glass jars and the looks is amazing! For the more interesting ones, I keep labels on for conversation pieces/art. Just an idea if you want to save money by using what you already have🌱Opaque plastic containers are also good if you want to control algae.
@@anebasammyme too accept the label thats a cool idea
@@evalunlocaexcept* I’m sorry it’s just a pet peeve of mine 🥲
Nooooooooo😂
I love that your mortgage being due acts as a planty reminder!
BEAUTIFUL! I just helped my mom set up her monsteras in water. She’s in love and has already gotten so many compliments.
I love you Krystal I love your Passion your plants and how well you dive I to your hobby. I love me too. Xoxo
Thank you for mentioning the at the growth has taken 11 months. That makes me feel better with my cutting’s progress.
I love love love your videos!! Thanks for all of the information you share 😌
Your mortgage comment reminded me of a hybrid tomato plant called “Mortgage Lifter” I hope that hybrid made them financially sound!
❤️🍀
best tomatoes.. grow them every year..
This was such a big help to me. I have been looking at buying some new plants and I’ve learned a lot from your channel. I really love the Monstera plant.❤❤
Thank you I haven’t been having good success with my Monsterella in dirt so I’ll be trying this method now :)
Great monsteras!
Love ❤️ your channel ♥️ Thank u for sharing all your knowledge!!
Happy Sunday 😊 I ❤Monsteras.
Me tooo love! I hope to adopt one or 3 someday ♡
Magnificent! I must try this! After watching your phenomenal success! Of course I will follow your instructions!!!!!!!!!!!
Woah!! That monstera in the corner looks AMAZING!! 😍
Absolutely gorgeous 🥰
I have a couple of monsters growing in water thanks to you , 🤛 💚🌵🌿🌱
I LOVE these plants!
Omg I wish I had found you a lot sooner!!!

Thanks for the useful information ☺️ I just got my monstera plants this year and will try this out.
I've read that pouring all the water out, messes with growth cause they release growth hormones in the water. Is that true? Should I leave a little before adding new water or change completely. I watch your stuff religiously. Thank you for all the effort 💗
I envy you plant collection. Its a good thing I don’t know were you live, I would be over asking you for cutting all the time.
So u don't clean the glass pots with soap just rinse with water. Serious question. Love ur channel❤
My monstera has thrived in water. I've even been able to separate them. I've got incoming babies and great grand babies.😊
mine has been water for a year or so, but some of the leaves are starting to yellow. not sure if its because I moved house and it gets less light. I think it would do well from liquid fertalizer. what kind do you use? :) thnx
They are magical when growing in fish tanks!!
What kind of liquid fertilizer do you use in your water vases?
Oh I need to try this!!
What liquid fertilizer do you recommend for plants in glass vases. Most liquid ones I see are pot ash so it makes the water look mucky
Honestly you dont need to rinse that much. Leave some beneficial microbes on the roots because it helps with transplant shock. Plants acquire a lot of their nutrients by bartering with microorganisms, so make sure there’s the correct bacteria to close the loop
U did it. I'm doing mine as well in water
It's taken 5 months for on of my cuttings to send out a root. Then it exploded
5 months for a root? Or new leave? Mine rotted before I got any roots, sad day for that plant, and the money wastes trying to save it from the mean planter haters at Lowes
You should try grafting cactuses (or “beefs”)!! 😉
Woow your monstera is beautiful 😍
Is there a comparable size difference between monsteras grown in water vs soil?
Baby girl, you are my crazy plant lady inspiration!!!🩷🌿🍃
Your plants 🪴 are gorgeous..JUST LIKE YOU 😅
Have you ever tried stress coat in your water? I tried it and my plants love it!
Is it possible to put that monstera in soil when it developed that much roots in water so it could grow in a pot then?
Hi Krystal!! Do you think it’s better using a transparent vase rather than a colored one? Thank you love you so much ♥️
Opaque containers will help retard algae growth bc they don't let in as much light. Neither will impact plant growth so select what you like
@@anebasammy heyyy thank you so much 🫶🏻
Why do you dry the roots before putting it back in water? Is that necessary for all plants growing in water
Nope she just does that probably because monstera roots won’t shrivel up and die very easily and she picked off dead roots so it may be good to let them dry a little bit to callous any open wounds. Just a guess though
what type of plant fertilizer do you add? also, do i have to rinse it out? i live in apartment and don't have the space for all this gardening lol :)
Any suggestions for staking these babies when growing in water?
What fertilizers could you recommend both liquid and powder?
I love the look of monsteras in water. I have 2 in water now.
Yay! They look so pretty in water
Why do you rinse the roots? Doesn’t that wash away the hormones?
So is it good to start right away with bigger glass vase? I just started planting monstera in water
I've been watching your videos lately, and they are highly informative. Quick question - do they grow just as fast, slower, or faster in water than in soil? Your input is highly appreciated, thanks. Also, what are your thoughts on clay balls?
Have a link for the liquid fertilizer?
I cant wait to have my own monstera! I am going to keep it in water, just have to find a good schedule for cleaning this beauty. Next to my 5 Aloe veras she is going to slay! Love your videos
i heard that your not suppose to change water because your dumping the nutrients out when you do that. it said that you just top the water off. is that true?
How long should you let them dry out after rinsing the roots?

Because every time I use it (once a month) the roots turn black and die. I would really like some help krystal, thanks! ❤
Did u start with cuttings?
Do you add liquid plant food to the water occasionally? I read you’re supposed to do that for plants growing in water since they’re not getting regular fertilizer from soil
Beautiful
Where do you recommend keeping them if growing in water?
A local nursery has a gorgeous Monstera D in a spagnum moss filled hanging basket. GORGEOUS!!!
That sounds absolutely beautiful! Wow!
Hey beautiful so u add ur fertie fert and it's the same as what I use. But u said once a month. How much? I use 1/4 tsp everytime I water all my plants so I just use that same amount when I change her water. Is that enough? My monstera is aurea that I have in water.

Do you have to use hydroponic fertilizer???
I just got a cutting. It's in a bottle for now. I was wondering how to grow it on if it roots. Now I've decided - these look beautiful.
Do you put them in water and forget about them? Because mine are just Droopy and dieing 😢
Are the clear vases better for the roots than an opaque container?
Krystal, do you like the houseplant mix from Sol soils as is for tropical plants? I'm wanting it for a super tiny Maranta leuconeura. And does it need plant food or fertilizer every couple weeks?
Do your monsteras give fruit?
I want to do this with some of my baby spider plants. What liquid fertilizer should I use?
Totally up to you but I use dyna grow foliage pro
Where are they getting the nutrients?
Do you allow them to get full sun
How do u get the leaves so big I can't grow mine outside it's to hot in Tucson Arizona.
So far have they given you monstera fruit?
What fertilizer do u use?
I'm thinking of putting mine in water also.
I’m wondering if the fenestrations are dependent on supports? I’m also growing in hydro and I want those big ol fenestrated leaves but I feel like I’m gonna have to jerryrig some kinda moss pole for it to really climb…
Okay now I want a monstera... I just recently started changing over my plants from soil to water because the dreaded gnats... Got to somehow figure out a good time schedule to change water. Might as well add another to it😂😂
Can a stingray grow in water too without soil
I never change all the water and it has a happy root system. Algae doesn’t hurt roots. I didn’t know this til recently. But I do top it off with fresh water as it evaporates.
What liquod fertilizer do you use?
Have any of yours ever flowered?
👏👏👏 also can you make a gollum jade care tutorial?
Edit: OoOo who gave the mysterious like? ✨Me✨ (:
YESSSS😊PLEASE
Rather than replacing the water completely, its better to top additional water. The container can be cleaned and the same topped up water put back into the container. Over a period of time, the plant gives out enzymes and growth hormones back tnto the water, hence this water shouldn't be thrown, instead topped up!!!!!😊
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Ok so I'm a plant lover but struggle with my monsteras. I will now try them in water now...ty
Do u know that u have a Monstera Borsigiana? So cool.
I have a 3+ year old monstera that was thriving and it got infested with gnats. So I put the potted plant outside and now it’s looking really sad. I’m going to see if I can save her and grow her in water!
I need help !!! I bought one and went to the nursery to get the soil changed into soul soil because she started drooping. Now she is still droopy, and her stems are turning brown help!!!!!!
How do you get the fruit
Is it possible to grow a clipping in water without a node
Of a monstera, no unfortunately.
@@PlantswithKrystal thanks 🙏
How to propagate a monstera. I have my plant and I wanna make babies out of it just don’t know how..
Krystal hola saludos desde Tijuana Baja California Mexico ….me gustaría mucho que nos compartas el nombre del fertilizante para el líquido y también para tierra gracias 🙏 te acabo de encontrar me gustó mucho tu contenido enhorabuena 🎉❤😊 sigue adelante con lo que tanta amas las plantitas y aprendemos de ti’ abrazosssssss❤
Can monstera thai cons be hydroponic?
What is the liquid fertilizer that you are using?
It’s dynagro foliage pro!
Thx
What do you do with damaged leaves from say a hail storm?
What kind of fertilizer?
This is dynagro foliage pro.
"separate the roots carefully" *proceeds to rip them apart like nothing* ... Had to laugh lol
Please sago palm update
I start them in water, but I just potted mine up for the first time 😬🤞🏼
I thought they had to have filtered water? I have really hard tap water so I water mine in soil with purified water.
How do you get the leaves so BIG?! 😭🥺 Mine, grows and grows but my leaves are small😩
"Look at those Ramen noodles!" ❤
